It’s the Special Theory of Relativity. A spaceman leaves earth at near the speed of light, where time compresses. After a while he returns to find earthlings all have aged, but not him. But since there is no fixed frame of reference in relativity, the opposite is also true. The EARTH moved away at near the speed of light and returned. When earthlings see the spaceman, HE has aged, but not them. With relativity, Einstein foisted a monumental joke on us, somewhat like Arlo’s on Janis.
They both need to realize they are getting older and will fall down on occasion. It’s no big deal. Most of us hope no one saw us and try to make light of the incident if they did.
I have been told that due to my age, osteoporosis and balance issues I shouldn’t even climb up to the very first step on a stepladder, to say nothing of climbing around on the roof, cleaning the gutters, cutting tree branches from a ladder, which were integral parts of my first 73 years. And sometimes I consider ignoring the advice, until I recall a friend from work who fell out of a Pecan tree, broke his back, and died. Hmm.

But to Einstein; Would he be kissing your butt? Or, according to the theory… 8^ )

Arlo would be more successful in helping Janis feel better if he gave her a hug, ran a bath for her, and helped her have a relaxing evening.

Allegedly Einstein got to kiss Marilyn Monroe’s, and more. :)

Janis, that’s one you cannot win. We all know the world kicked you.

Arlo should have mentioned Einstein’s more mellow theory of Corporal relativity!

Arlo just has to take Einstein’s place.

Albert Einstein developed a theory about space.
And, boy, it was about time, too!

Most people don’t know that Albert Einstein, one of the smartest people of all time, was divorced.
Maybe instead of asking “will you take this woman” they should be asking “do you think you’re smarter than Einstein?”

Dude, she totally fell down.

Arlo it’s weird.

Back in his lifetime, quite a few scientists viewed Einstein as a highly successful plagiarizer and fraud.
I imagine, though, that that can be said about any number of scientists, researchers, writers, and public figures.

Einstein’s gone, but Arlo will step up to that offer.

Arlo’s dilemma: start at the toes and work his way up, or at the neck and work down?

How about a kiss and gentle massage of the sore area with soothing lotions?

I’ll kiss it if it would make her feel better…..

Einstein was a skirt chaser, and I’m sure he kissed his fair share of undergrad’s butts.

So Arlo step up and take his place, she may want to fall on her bottom more often if she knows it might end up being fun with you playing doctor.

Arlo, kiss your wife’s sore bottom as much as needed.
j.l.farmer about 3 years ago
maybe he can kiss her a** instead since he hasn’t been doing too well in supporting her with her gaining weight concern.
MarthaGwen Premium Member about 3 years ago
Shouldn’t Newton’s name have come into the discussion, too? I mean, if he hadn’t discovered gravity, then Janis wouldn’t have fallen!!
